He crawls under the table and purloins first one glass of beer and then the other. The gentlemen, astounded at finding their glasses empty, and being strangers to each other, mutual accusations are in order. Weary helps himself to one of their cigars and leaves them to fight it out. He gets a job attending an electric machine. An old farmer comes along, and Weary inveigles him into grasping the handles of the machine, and when he sees his victim well anchored, grasps the farmer's valise and escapes. The funds gained in this way enable him to purchase a bottle of "Oh! Be Joyful." And after he has imbibed freely he wanders into a park and falls asleep, his half-finished bottle beside him. He is astounded upon awakening to find a half-grown cub bear drinking the balance of his booze. It is all grist that comes to Weary's mill, and he promptly steals the bear. He is arrested, hut escapes the policeman by jumping into a convenient ash box. An old biddy comes along and empties a hod of hot ashes on Weary's head. The officer he first eluded is hot on his trail. Things are now becoming quite warm for Weary. He dashes out of the alley, and headlong into the bane of his existence. A fireman is watering the street and catches poor Weary in the face. Over and over he goes. "Water, ye gods, water. No help for it, they've got me right, this time. I did swear I'd never touch that stuff again, and now this fireman has made me break my word." Written by
